 Brief, Concise, and Specific Enlightenment June 27, 2009

Although this book is very helpful after bringing a puppy home, it would be ideal to have read this BEFORE bringing a puppy home because it would prevent making mistakes with toy play, housebreaking, posture, etc. as well as enlighten future" leaders" about desirable behavior.
 Great reference material June 2, 2009

This book was a great help to me when I adopted my chi-terrier mix. The book is easy to understand and follow. The book shows that the simplest rules and small changes as well as consistency will make a difference when training a dog. This is my third time purchasing the book, because I also give copies as gifts.
A MUST for dog owners October 11, 2007

I thought I had the best dog in the world until we got another little puppy. Then, my dog became very territorial with his toys. Wanting the two dogs to love each other forever, I got this book because it was recommended by the local German Shepherd rescue.
Most of the things in the book I had already done with my first dog, but the writers explained why my dog was acting this way with his toys and how to correct it.
My two dogs share toys now and don't fight (other that puppy play).
Sometimes it is hard to 'think like a dog', but you have to in order to communicate with yours. These writers must be part-dog, and the book is very effective.
Excellent book September 3, 2007

This is an excellent book for anyone who owns a dog. It gives you good insight into the heirarchy of the dog world and helps you understand how the dog thinks and should help everyone in the training of their dog.
Slender volume packed with information December 22, 2006

I have had dogs my entire life. Unfortunately, I never realized how poor my understanding of dog behavior was. (I currently have 4 dogs--the introduction of an exuberant 1/2 American bull dog/beagle/lab mix has required the tutorial!).
I would recommend that every dog owner read this volume. In fact, no one should even own a dog without understanding and implementing these basic concepts. (I know that sounds didactic; however, I would humbly submit to being called on this by any who have read no books on dog behavior and who, having read this book, finds that my comment rings false.) I read Cesar Milan's book, but felt that I was only introduced to concepts with no meaningful means to engage the concepts--more autobiographical. This book not only introduced the concepts but provided specific guidance on how to implement.
This is not a book solely for problem dogs. Rather, it is a book for any person or family that wants to enjoy problem-free habitation with a dog. Providing for our dogs confident leadership, clear boundaries, safety and comfort are our responsibilities as dog owners. You will feel well-equipped to carry out these responsibilities by starting here.
